Nothing to criticize about your decorations....your photography is another story though.

I dig it. It's kind of throwback with the pinup girl posters, etc. I like it bro. Now add a concession, (ie popcorn machine, some knick knacks) and you're set. Are you going HT in that room or what? Perfect little room for it IMHO.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

I don't have any criticism about your decorations. All I can say is it has good ambiance I think and it really looks like a bar.Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.

I plan to replace that silve martini frame to cherry wood to match the cabinets. that would look good
maybe put wines under counter using wine rack and put Jagermesiter tap machine on the counter?

Uhmm the room (pic #1) is gonna be dining room with table we use for holidays or family eating time.
HT system will be in living room
It looks like i will have to buy 4 pair floorspeakers ( Probably a9, a5 and a7) instead of rtia3 or fxi a6 becuase room is open... any suggestion?
yeah the speakers on ceiling came with the house

That's a nice bar. We like ours. I would have done a couple things differently to ours in hindsight (its a larger wet bar with undercounter fridge) we also have a separate dry bar similar to what you have for wine. With all that space, it is still crowded, and that would be my main suggestion for you.
Unless you are using the the Hard Rock beer glasses and the glasses in the middle shelf, I would try to move the decorative glassware somewhere else to open up space for the glasses you actively use. I would also try to get some of the bottles in the cabinets to open up work space on the counter. By the time you put an ice bucket out, there is little space left. -

I am 2 hours north of Philly and that would have been a hell of a ride if I tried to get home. Martini's are a favorite of mine but don't drink them often, thank god. I have three Bombay Martini's/up with a couple olives and the side car sometimes when I go out to dinner and am a happy boy -
the pics suck and you need more stuff to drink
